Afternoon Tea for Three... What a Lovely Surprise! We were…read moregreeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff who immediately made us feel welcome. We had preordered the three-tier afternoon tea, which included individual pots of tea chosen by each guest, so there was truly something for everyone. We enjoyed Paris , peppermint, and English Breakfast, all Harney and Sons teas. The three-tier stand was beautifully filled. The first tier featured delicious quiche, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, and spanakopita, with one of each item for every person. The second tier held two buttery, perfectly sweet scones for each guest. The top tier was dedicated to desserts and did not disappoint. We enjoyed Parisian chocolate cake, cheesecake, key lime cake, and chocolate chip cannolis. Everything was fresh, moist, and absolutely delicious. We were able to relax and enjoy each other's company without ever feeling rushed. It was a wonderful experience, and I'm grateful to have such a lovely place for afternoon tea in the neighborhood.

We went to this place on Labor Day weekend, it is a little bit off the beaten path from the usual…read moreshore towns. It is a very quaint cute restaurant with nice decor and nice ambience. It is a BYOB so remember to pack your wine. The service was a bit slow as there was only two waitresses working the inside. I also think our table was sat at the same time as the other two tables. We definitely gave Grace for that. We had the classic spaghetti and meatballs, very underwhelming dish. The Bucatini with mushroom dish was good, but lacked salt. I had the filet mignon that was sous vide. It is done to a medium temperature and it cannot be cooked any more well according to the waitress. Her description was epic. She said it's basically like a filet mignon that's wrapped in saran wrap and boiled. Clearly the weight staff doesn't understand the art of French cooking. And if that was the description and I didn't know better would've been a hell no. The spinach and artichoke dip we started with was the opposite extreme. It was overly salty and offputting. We didn't even finish it. The salad had a really nice bright dressing, but it could've used a little splash of an acid otherwise it was completely covered in cheese. All in all, it's a nice looking restaurant with good bones, but I think some of the food needs to fine-tuning. Some of it felt dare I say banquet and not Restaurant quality. All of the dishes looked appetizing and appealing, and came to the table quite nice. The temperature wasn't overly hot but the restaurant seemed busier than normal. We opted not to finish the meal off with dessert as we had other plans. The price point is pretty in line with beach resort pricing. The BYO was a nice option. The food was missing some elemental, cooking additives like salt, which is super important the flavoring food. This seems to be a popular spot for local folks. Probably it does well off-season when there's not a lot of options.

TLDR: Future customers be warned that your preferences are not respected here…read more I love the sandwiches here. HOWEVER today we experienced 100% unacceptable behavior by the chef (I believe the owner) in the back. My friend, who unfortunately lost her voice, ordered a sandwich through the notes app on her phone to the girl at the desk. Her order was an Italian with diablo and liverwurst. The girl understood it fine, asked some questions but they understood the order. He came to the front and asked to confirm the sandwich with salami, pepperoni, and capicola, PLUS the liverwurst. He told us that's not something he had heard of before but we confirmed we wanted it all on one sandwich and he went back. Seemed fine and understood. When we got to the counter, they had two sandwiches ready for us. We informed her it was liverwurst and she just handed over the one sandwich. Paid and then checked the sandwiches after the confusion. We realized they just put liverwurst and peppers into the sandwich and nothing from the Italian. We went back into explain, talked to the first girl at the counter. She asked "did we write the order wrong?" And I confirmed for my friend, we just wanted to add liverwurst and peppers to the Italian sandwich. She said okay and that they would remake it. Then the owner came back. He gave us a serious attitude and said "I'm not making it that," openly insulted her order by saying "those meats don't go together" and that he wouldn't honor the order despite her already paying for it. I told him "It's what she ORDERED, that's what she wants." He replied "I don't care, I'm not doing it." (A simple "we don't do modifications" would have been totally understandable by us instead of this.) Thankfully, his entire wonderful staff heard. I asked about just paying for the other sandwich so we could combine it at home. The amazing woman at checkout gave us the other sandwich for free. The second star is purely for the generosity and understanding of the staff. We understand it was busy and sometimes things get overlooked, but the behavior from this guy was extremely unprofessional. Their only saving grace was their extremely kind and apologetic staff. Future customers be warned that your preferences are not respected here. A quote from my friend when we were home: "I was half-hoping that when I added the two sandwiches together, it would be disgusting and he might have been justifiable. But it was delicious just as I ordered it." We brought our friend to visit Sea Isle City to show her the best it has to offer, and it's a shame the owner's behavior ruined this experience.

The…read moreservice was lacking in that we were asked our preference for water and they only offered if we wanted frizzante or still water, and not an option for tap water. Thinking the still water was tap water we chose that option not knowing the water was $9 a bottle. So we were very surprised to see a $27 water bill. Maybe this was unintentional but they clearly omitted the offer for tap water. what was an enjoyable dining experience was somewhat tarnished by this.

Most of this time was spent waiting on the one server to circle back to us. She was a friendly and pleasant waitress, but does not have the skill to juggle tables effectively. The food was tasty. I loved the featured salad. Unfortunately they don't allow you to share entrees, which I find very odd. For an Italian restaurant, not being able to order for the table is a strange limitation. Also $30 for gnocchi is kind of crazy. The restaurant has a nice vibe. I'm sure it's lively and fun during the summer. Off season, it feels overpriced and not attentive enough to return. We also waited 20 minutes to pay our bill before we saw a "pay on your phone" option under the folded section. We then paid and left. Overall a really unfortunate experience.
